Description

HTC Sensation XL will surely impress those who are looking for something earth shattering in the Android World. In addition to the obvious 4.7” WVGA display with Gorilla Glass that it’s packing, the handset is known to be a fine image snapper with its 8-megapixel auto focus camera with backside illumination, f/2.2 28mm lens, and dual-LED flash. However, it’s still only limited to 720p HD video capture – with a 1.3-megapixel front-facing camera. Providing its core horsepower, the Sensation XL is powered by a 1.5GHz single core Qualcomm Snapdragon processor, which is coupled with 768MB of RAM, to offer a rich and satisfying Sense 3.0 experience running on top of Android 2.3 Gingerbread. Of course, it features other standards such as 16GB of internal storage, GPS, Wi-Fi, and HSPA+ connectivity for theoretical download and upload speeds of 14.4Mbit/s and 5.67Mbits/s. With Beats Audio technology producing some thumping tunes, the handset is being shipped along with urBeats headphones, which integrates perfectly with the handset’s audio centric focus as well.

This device is also known as HTC Runnymede

Everything about this phone is phenomenal, thanks HTC! It does everything I need it to and more, it can take stunning pictures and display them on its crystal clear screen, music is also great with its build in beats audio and free beats headphones and the every day usage is brilliant!

I have this phone for a few days, and have tested it a lot. Here is my opinion on it.
The first amusing thing is the display. It's so colorful and bright!
The sound system is shocking great! If you're a music fan, you're gonna love this.
The camera is really good. Some noises in some pictures may be present, but it's all right. Comparing with an HTC Desire, this one's camera is a pro :) plus the HD video recording!
The UI speed and everyday usage and Internet satisfy my needs and I'm using my friend a lot!
Battery lives pretty long for a smartphone with such big display.
The only con for me, is the feel of it in hand. The back plastic is uncomfortable, especially comparing with my old Hero...
